For all college bound high school students: have you talked to your parents about what they will contribute for your college costs, and run some college net price calculators to get an idea of what colleges may cost after financial aid?

Make a list of colleges with specific factors that you like (size, location, specialties, etc.) Also, because you’re a junior, start working on the common app and getting recommendations early, so you can apply Early Action to schools!
